The wording below is transcribed from those pages and checked against a second, independent reading of the same scan. The PDF above is the University's own page, unaltered, and is the authority wherever the two differ.
The complete syllabus
This subject is cut from the University of Mumbai's own B.F.A. (Applied Art) syllabus document. The whole document is here:
The document ends with a Bibliography for the whole degree rather than a reading list per subject. Its last page — the list of books, after the periodicals and annuals — is missing from every copy that can be reached while the University's own site is down, so it is not reproduced here.
